  • a barrier coat can be included between a coating and another coating or the exterior of the preliminary dosage form (e.g., the compressed tablet, the capsule shell, etc.).
  • the barrier coat can be comprised of an enteric/delayed release coat (as above), or a barrier (non-functional) layer, which serves as a protective coat to prevent moisture from contacting the inner pharmaceutical component, or to prevent leaching from inside the barrier coat to an outer pharmaceutically active component or vice versa.
  • a moisture barrier coat may be comprised of any applicable type of coat known to those of skill in the art.
  • the solid ingredients of the formulation are blended, optionally granulated, such as by dry or wet granulation, and compressed into tablets, and optionally coated.

  • a pharmaceutical composition of difimicin was prepared with the ingredients shown in Table I.
  • Difimicin was mixed with microcrystalline cellulose (e.g., Avicel PH 101), starch (e.g., Starch 1500), sodium starch glycolate, and hydroxypropylcellulose.
  • the mixture was sprayed with a solution of BHT in methanol.
  • the sprayed mixture was granulated with hydroxypropylcellulose by high shear granulation in water, and dried in a fluid bed dryer. More sodium starch glycolate was added.
  • the resultant composition was lubricated with magnesium stearate and compressed into a capsule-shaped, biconvex tablet. Some of the tablets were used with microcrystalline cellulose powder to fill grey coni-snap capsules, size 0, prior to compression. No less than 85% of the active ingredients in the solid dosage forms dissolved in 30 minutes in 900 mL of a 3.0% medium of sodium lauryl sulphate by the USP paddle method at 100 rpm and 37° C.
  • the stability of the formulations of Table II, having difimicin with BHT, BHA, or no anti-oxidant were compared in Table III.
